2. Bitunix

Bitunix charges 0.02% maker and 0.06% taker on futures at VIP 0, falling to 0.000%/0.026% at VIP 8. Its KYC page says crypto withdrawals unlock at KYC 1 (ID plus selfie, 500,000 USDT per 24 hours), and KYC 2 raises the limit to 5,000,000 USDT. Its official futures guide says up to 200x on BTC/USDT and ETH/USDT. The Bitunix promo code on LiquidityFlow is rewards.

3. Bitbase

Bitbase's USDT-M futures start at 0.0200% maker and 0.0600% taker and fall to 0.0050%/0.0250% at VIP 7. Spot is 0.1% maker and 0.1% taker. Its futures service agreement says you must complete identity verification (KYC), account security setup and a futures risk assessment before you can trade futures, so Bitbase is not a no-KYC exchange.

For withdrawal limits by verification level, read the Bitbase KYC help article and check the limit shown in your own account. We don't quote the article's figures here because they read inconsistently.

4. BYDFi

BYDFi's fee article lists 0.02% maker and 0.06% taker on USDT-M and COIN-M perpetuals, and 0.1% maker and taker on spot (source). Its homepage advertises up to 500x on BTCUSDT. BYDFi's own pages describe withdrawal limits differently, so we don't quote a no-KYC limit; check the limit shown in your account.

5. KCEX

KCEX lists 0% maker and 0% taker on spot, and 0% maker and 0.01% taker on futures (source). It notes that some pairs can carry different rates during promotions. KCEX's official contract data shows 125x on its BTC and ETH USDT perpetuals. KCEX's help center and blog describe unverified withdrawals differently, so we don't quote a no-KYC withdrawal limit. LiquidityFlow does not publish a KCEX code.

Others: MEXC and BingX

MEXC requires KYC: per its February 2026 announcement, unverified users can't deposit, withdraw or trade. Its fee page showed 0.000% maker and 0.020% taker on the BTCUSDT perpetual, with other pairs priced differently. BingX urges KYC for deposits and full access. We could not confirm one base futures rate for BingX on its official pages during this check, so this page does not list one.

Which should you pick?

For the lowest listed futures taker fee, KCEX lists 0.01%. To trade futures before verifying your ID, BloFin's Basic level allows futures trading and 20,000 USDT a day in withdrawals. If you will complete KYC, Bitunix has the highest verified withdrawal limit here (5,000,000 USDT at KYC 2) and up to 200x on BTC and ETH. Bitbase requires KYC for futures. Leverage magnifies losses as well as gains.
